@DWP: Las Vegas: Desert Wetlands Park

A delightful, well-developed refuge on the eastern
edge of town. Lots of birders and school kids there.
A redevelopment, not original habitat, but good trails,
interpretive features, and even a few birds.

This football stadium is flanked on the north side by
a sod farm that apparently doubles as overflow parking.
The sprinklers were on today, attracting a number of
species.

Kestrel, American 1 @Las Vegas: Desert Wetlands Park

Near the model airplane field. Some of the modelers
told me that it would occasionally interact with their
planes, although they reported no collisions.

On a Saturday, there was no obvious access. The records
here were from a distance, through the fence at the gate.
